Assistant Harbour Master,
As instructed by you I proceeded on Saturday
last, the 2nd instant, to a position off the entrance to
Mirs Bay.
The Latitude and Longitude of five positions
pointed out to me by Police Witnesses were taken, and with
the exception of one, these positions were within one
tenth of a mile of Latitude 220 22' 06" North, Longitude
1140 24 18" East.
The exception was that of Lai Fook, Coxswain
of the Steam Launch "Sai Kung". This position was in
Latitude 220 22' 00" North, Longitude 1140 23 45" East
approximately half a mile nearer Conic Island than the
other four.
All five positions were within 1 mile of the
coast and therefore well inside British Waters.
